Banco Bradesco is one of the oldest banks in the South American, Portuguese-speaking nation of Brazil, having been founded in 1943 by Amador Aguiar in Marilia. Whether it’s a coincidence or something more, we’ll never know, as the long-time employee and current executive of Bradesco, Luiz Carlos Trabuco, was also born in Marilia, just eight years after Bradesco’s initial branch started to experience success.

Luiz Carlos Trabuco has received a lion’s share of positive press about his background, how he helped mold Bradesco for its betterment, and thinking behind great decisions he’s made at the financial institution he’s been a part of since 1969. However, likely the brightest point of Mr. Trabuco’s career was his involvement in the purchase of HSBC, a bank owned and operated by multinational commercial conglomerate HSBC Holdings from its corporate office in London, England.

August of 2015 marked the month when formal negotiations for the $5,200,000,000 proved successful, Bradesco’s side of the table led by none other than Luiz Carlos Trabuco. February of 2016 brought all necessary paperwork regarding the purchase and adherence to applicable Brazilian and international law to a close, immediately earning the equivalent of six years’ worth of organic growth. While Luiz Carlos Trabuco has brought a great deal of organic growth to Bradesco’s proverbial table, the purchase of HSBC’s assets related to its Brazilian financial institutions were absolutely necessary to maintain a competitive advantage in its fiercely-competitive marketplace.

The largest bank in all of Brazil since 2008, Itau Unibanco, was created as a merger between Brazilian banking giants Banco Itau and Unibanco, bumping each bank’s size from under that of Bradesco to above Bradesco’s. Even though Bradesco had held that title for numerous decades, Luiz Carlos Trabuco was in no way accepting of Itau Unibanco taking first place. Furthermore, because that financial institution had grabbed first place in Brazil, it meant another competitor could attempt to do the same. Even if they didn’t make themselves the largest bank with the taking home of HSBC’s Brazilian operations, it made far more sense to Luiz Carlos Trabuco and his fellow executives to purchase it, rather than allow the opportunity for another organization to do so.

But how did Luiz Carlos Trabuco reason that HSBC was potentially up for sale?

Although the assets of HSBC were thought by Luiz Carlos Trabuco to prove potentially beneficial to Bradesco’s needs – which they very much did, as it’s proven today – HSBC had been underperforming for some time closely following the turn of the millennium. November of 2014 was the first time when Luiz Carlos Trabuco thought purchasing HSBC’s assets could be worthwhile, as parent companies with many individual subsidiaries don’t often maintain failing operations for years on end; rather, they cut subsidiaries not yielding enough profit to their respective bottom lines.

Mr. Luiz Carlos Trabuco directly approached HSBC Holdings’ executives in 2015, when he received affirmation to his assumptions – HSBC’s banking assets in the nation of Brazil could possibly be up for sale. Within a few short months, August of 2015 rolled around, in which Luiz Carlos Trabuco agreed on a purchase price of $5.2 billion. Even though the price was full of goodwill – or, an excess of purchase price over the total value of net assets – the transaction has unarguably proved worthwhile.

Luiz Carlos Trabuco began working for Bradesco’s first branch in 1969, directly after earning two degrees in metropolitan Sao Paulo. He was invited to work at the institution’s headquarters in Sao Paulo, after living in Marilia for two years, in 1971. Mr. Trabuco has ascended virtually every rank of Bradesco since the late 1960s.

Fashion is looking to have a bright future with everything being connected and more people being considered with products. While the current mentality seems to want to dictate fashion for people, there is more encouragement being brought forth to people who want to express themselves and dress in ways that are unconventional. There are certain types of stores that try to bring forth unique fashions to people so that they will be more likely to find something that is unique to their individual style. For instance, a lot of fast fashion stores tend to offer something that can’t be found in other types of fashion stores.

Even beyond fast fashion is the company called TechStyle. Kate Hudson has recently joined the company with the launch of the latest brand, Fabletics. One of the reasons that Fabletics has seen a lot of success in just the 4 years it has been open is that it is based on the individual. While it does bring forth some really pleasing products, it is the customers who have a lot more control over the types of products that are offered than with other companies that try to just bring out products with the hopes of selling them through discounts.

Fabletics is proving to be such a powerhouse in fashion that it is even planning on taking on Amazon which has a lot of the fashion industry. Amazon has tons of clothing available for people. There are so many styles to choose from. However, there is a disadvantage that Amazon is faced with. Seeing that Amazon does not make its own clothes, but sells clothing from many other designers and fashion companies, it is likely to drive some customers away because the styles they want tend to be lost in the shuffle.

Among the things that Fabletics has done was make sure that the customer knows that they will be led to the products that are best suited to them. Another thing they have done is start opening up physical locations so that people can enjoy the experience of shopping for clothes by trying on items and even enjoying their products right away as soon as they buy them.
